SOJfHERN NATURAL RESOURCES.
Our Sruttit Reioirc, is Our >07* and
OlxU.
Time was when the opinion pre
vailed that the natural resources
of the South were mainly agricul
tural. The wealth of the section
was found in the grain fields of the
border states and the cotton plan
tations of the farther South. It
was known that there were iron
and coal and copper in our moun
tains, and vast forests of timber;
but none of these was then thought
about by the people of the coun
try generally as being a source of
great wealth.
In the last quarter of a century
there has been a change of opinion
on these matters. It has been
found that one of the chief of all
our natural resources is the min
erals deposited by nature in our
hills and mountains, and it has
been demonstrated that we may
become a manufacturing people,
that it is not necessary thet we
should send away our raw mater
ial and bring back the finished
product. We can do things as
well as other people if we will
only try.
There is, however, one thing
that we have been slow in finding
out, though there is evidence of
an awakening now. That is, it is
not possible for us to accomplish
the best results and tqfcbelp our
selves, without first training the
minds of our young people so that
they will know how to do that
which is the best of self defence, if
there be no higher ifotive. The
people of the Southi must be
equipped by educatibn for the
work to be done and t<£do it at the
best time and in the b$st way. In
other words, as a matteof self-
defense, it there be 4 higher mo
tive, the people of theabutb must
Georgia Syrup to be Protected.
By a unanimous vote the house
yesterday morning passed the bill
by Mr. Brinson. o r Decatur county
to prohibit the sale of adulterated
sirup under the guise of being the
pure article.
Much discussion was indulged
in by the members of the house
over the measure and it was pass'
ed in substitute form, the substi
tute being offered by the author
of the original bill. Amendments
that Were proposed were all voted
down.
The bill is of general importance
and interest. It passed by the
senate and approved by the gover
nor it becomes effective Septem
ber 1, 1903, and stipnlates that on
and after that date it shall be un
lawful for any one to sell, advertise
for sale or offer for sale within the
limits of the state any adulterated
or mixed sirup whatever, except
at the time of sale or offer of sale
the percentage of such adultertion
or mixture is clearly stamped on
the receptacle containing the sir
up.
According to the bill the terms
“adulterated,” “mixture’’ or "ad
mixture” apply to all mixtures of
two or more ingredients differing
in theij nature or quality, such as
sugar cane sirup, maple sirup, mo
lasses, or glucose. The measure
also makes it unlawful to sell any
sirup branded "cane sirup,” “rib
bon cane sirup,” Georgia cane sir
up,” “pure cane sirup,” which con
tains any other ingredient other
than that resulting trom the boil
ing of the pure juice of the sugar
cancand from which r.o sugar has
been taken.

terated sirup in the state that was

Notice.
less the public was put on notice
that it was adulterated. A substi
tute was offered making the bill
effective on and after September
l, 1903, acd making it unlawful to
sell any adulterated sirup unless so
labeled, the analysis and various
mixtures being stamped on the
receptacle holding the sirup. Sev
eral amendments to the measure
were proposed.
Debate was restricted to to min
utes for each speaker and the pre
vious question was to be called at
12 o’clock, Mr. Slaton, of Fulton
asked what difference exi-ted be
tween the original bill and the pro
posed substitute. Mr. Brinson,
the author of both, made the desir
ed explanation.
He said the original bill made
the act operative immediately up
on its passage and approval by the=•
governor, while the substitute
made it effective beginning next
September. Consumers of what
purported to be pure Georgia cane
siiup in this state, and every state
ot the union, would be protected
under the provisions ot the bill,
because they woulu know that
they were* getting absolutely pure
sirup.
Mr. Miller, of Muscogee, pro
posed to amend so as to allow the
use of a proper quantity of pure
glucose or corn sirup in retailing;
and refining so as to prevent fer
mentation and crystallization, Mr.
Brinson declared that the amend- -
ment would certainly obviate the -
very thing that was sought by the
bill.
Mr. West, of Loundes, said the
measure was for the protection of
south Georgia sirup and by making,
it unlawful to sell adulterated ma
terial, would raise the standard of<
Georgia sirup and gain for it »
better price.
Mr. Mitchell, of Thomas, said,
tint be happened to know that
the makers of sirup in Georgia
were in favor of the substitute, be
cause Georgia cane sirup was be
ing driven oortf the markets of
the north because some of it wan
being abulterated. The manufac
turers, he declared, desired to
have the sirup in this state to come
into competition with the sirup oh
any other section as a pure article
in all markets.
Mr. Miller, of Muscogee, asserv
ted that there was practically no
difference in his amendment to
the original bill and the substitute.
Glucose, he said, was just M pure
as the best cane juice. The im
perfect methods of filtration on
the farms, Mr. Miller said, were
responsible for the fermentation
in warm weather and crystalUm-
tion in the winter. Glucose he
stated, cost more than the cane
sirup and was used only to beep
the perfected article in good con
dition.
At the appointed hour the pre
vious question was called and the
house proceeded to vote on the
bill and the amendments. All the
amendments were lost and the ML
